NOAA has set an all-time world record for data tampering in 2014. So far this year they have adjusted US temperature upwards by an average of 1.185 degrees at all USHCN stations, creating a genuine hockey stick.
Final : ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i.tar.gz
Raw : ushcn.tavg.latest.raw.tar.gz
This graph is the average of all of the final temperatures minus all of the raw temperatures, at all USHCN stations. It shows the average temperature USHCN temperature adjustment for all stations, per year.
In other words the real temperature just plunged by nearly a degree?
The real temperature plunged a lot more than a degree, but NOAA has diminished the size of the plunge by 1.185 degrees.
Yet neither satellite series shows any sudden plunge? And what about weather balloons?
Gail Combs has already noted where they have increased the temperature to above freezing, with ice on the roads.
This is a different problem, done at USHCN HQ after the station data is reported.
So we really do not know how far off the data really is if they are messing up the ‘Raw Data’ before they make their ‘Adjustments’
Alas poor Flickr! I did not use it a year ago, except Michael Mann gave a ‘hockey stick’…
I couldn’t open the links. What program do you use?
On a gnu system like Linux or cygwin
tar xzvf [filename]
Winzip can also handle it.
7zip is a nice package to use too.
Costs less too.
Lies, damned lies, and government data.
Does NOAA any longer employ even one real, honest scientist?
Secretary of the Interior said she hopes there are no honest scientists (i.e. skeptics) working for her.
She is an Obamabot. Truth is not in her repertoire.
Not if the boss finds out.
Silly sods will STILL be cranking the data up when the glaciers come back and overwhelm their offices.
They’ll blame THAT on Global Warming.
Of course. All that overabundant CO2 has to go SOMEWHERE. So it turns into dry ice glaciers. And the more you heat with fossil fuels the bigger those glaciers will grow!
